I see Bishop Norton Cabinet 1 has gone live what is the eta of cabinet 3 getting fttc.

Good Morning Darren

Thanks for taking time to write to us.

Cabinet 3 off Bishop Norton doesn't appear within the scope of this programme.

Strange, BT have been working to move EO lines on the Bishop Norton exchange to a new cabinet (3) and I have spoken to the BT engineer working on it and he said it was to provide fibre broadband on those lines.

Also previous corespodance with yourself's informed me that our EO line would get fttc by BT building a new cabinet ?

BT has 2 x cabinets showing in their project plan, the first is Cabinet 1 and the second is cabinet R1. The 'R' normally refers to a rearrangement of lines and when completed, they will designate a new 'P' number. As we haven't had any new designation for R1 as yet, we wouldn't know it was intended to be P3 (cabinet 3), hence the confusion.

Thanks for info, cabinet 3 is showing on the bt dsl search where before it was just the exchange.

Back to the original question do you have a eta for R1 offering fttc?

Darren

Hi Darren,

That particular cabinet falls within Phase 7 and is therefore due for completion by 31st December. We will attempt to complete sooner than that, but current indications point to nearer that date.
we will get a clearer view on ETA as move into late October.

Thanks for the info Steve.

Darren.

Hi Steve

Hi Matt,

BT still reckon it will be a December finish, but we will keep chasing them.

Based on BT adsl checker this is now live.

Hi Darren,

Thanks very much for the update. We normally get completions on a Thursday, so thanks for the headstart.

Steve
